WFC 2026 Final Preview: Spain's Road to New York

Spain will contest the WFC 2026 final on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New York, having overcome France 2-0 in the semi-finals to secure their place in the biggest match in world football.

Spain's Tournament So Far

La Roja have been one of the most consistent sides throughout the competition, with Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal both among the tournament's top scorers. Their semi-final win over France, courtesy of goals from Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro, showcased a defensively disciplined side capable of taking their chances at the other end.

Who Will They Face?

Spain await the winner of the England vs Argentina semi-final in Atlanta, with two very different but equally dangerous potential opponents. Argentina bring the experience of reigning champions and the brilliance of Lionel Messi, while England offer the youthful energy of Jude Bellingham and the proven finishing of Harry Kane.

The Final

Kick-off is set for July 19 at MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey — the same venue that will host the tournament's showpiece finale in front of a global audience.
